Comments:
I think my actual swim time was about 7mins 30s so I was happy with
that. I generally felt good although I was getting tired towards the
end and I could feel my form slipping.
Transition 1:
Time included in the swim.
I probably spent too long in T1 but I wanted to put arm warmers
(not easy with wet arms) on as it was quite cold. |
BIKE
00:36:14│12.43 miles│20.6mph
Comments:
There was a really strong headwind most of the way out so that made it
slow going. I was 5th fastest on the bike last year but I just
couldn't get my heart rate up so never really got going, which cost me a
lot of time. It was a fairly fast return with a tail wind but I knew
I wouldn't beat the hour mark for the whole triathlon.
Transition 2: Time
included in bike segment.
Kept my shoes on but the transition went smoothly. |
 RUN
00:20:25│3.1 miles│06:34min/mile
Comments:
My legs took a lap to warm up but I managed to increase the
pace on the second and final lap. As with the bike I couldn't really
get my heart rate up and never really felt comfortable. I have felt
exhausted recently and have really struggled to train so I didn't expect a
great result here. The wind didn't help either.
Event Comments:
Quick registration and event ran on time. Nice
friendly atmosphere.
